Top quality espresso!

I have Delonghi cappuccino at home, brough this for travel purpose. There is hardly any difference between espresso made from Delonghi and Wacaco. I am impressed with this product. Regards, Mazhar

It can make very good taste esperso quickly and easy

I love the practically of it and it does make a nice cup. My only problem is even if I use boiling water the esspresso is not hot (although pumping it directly). Its warm at best.

Super espresso

Title

Bit of an espresso snob here. Owned an espresso stand in Seattle, and always looking for something that will give the perfect crema. Wow is this little thing a gold mine!! I am not sure if it’s the way it is pumped and extracted but OMG. First time in my life I can sip 2 shots with no cream! By far the best espresso shots. So perfect for traveling, airports, hotels, camping- you know, all the places you have been before where you just wish you could have an excellent cup of espresso. All these places have access to boiling water, so this is a game changer for taste, budget, & convenience. I loved this so much, I just bought another one. Cause let’s face it, every time we find something we love, it’s hard to replace later when we want another one. Happy cupping!

This device has a quite narrow and specific target market. People who are serious enough coffee snobs that they want to be able to pull an espresso shot in the middle of nowhere. People for whom plungers, or even mocha pots aren't good enough, they are such insufferable coffee snobs that they have to have espresso. Obviously, I fall squarely in this target market. Using the device isn't terribly easy or quick, but I suspect that can't be avoided. Espresso needs hot water, finely ground coffee and high pressure. To get those to combine in a quite reasonably priced, 300g device isn't terribly easy. However, it isn't overly difficult and with a small amount of practice you will be pumping out shots of high quality coffee. The only real niggle I have is the size of the coffee basket. At a mere 8g, to get a decently strong coffee, you need to do 2 shots, which is quite a faff around. As such, you are not going to volunteer to make a coffee for anyone else and yourself. Again however, I suspect that's almost certainly a limitation imposed the requirements to make an espresso. In summation, it's quite small; reasonably priced and makes excellent espresso. After about 1 month, I'm particularly happy with it. If anything pops up to change my mind, I'll update this review. Update: It's been over 12 months and it's still excellent. I travel a lot, and being able to get real coffee anywhere really makes my life better. Thanks for the product guys.

Muito boa. O café com a moagem correta fica delicioso!

I bought this about a month ago and wanted to wait to write a review until I'd used it for a while. I was slightly nervous of buying it because of the price, but I have to say that I'm really impressed. I work in an office in central London where all the surrounding chain cafes turn out so-so espresso for between £1.50-2.00/shot, and was fed up of that. This really has solved that issue and pretty soon I'll break even on the investment of buying it vs the cost of buying coffees out all the time. It's a really, really small and nifty device, extremely quick and easy to use and clean, and crucially - makes very good espresso, easily as good if not better than the espresso sold in many cafes. Yes, it takes a few days to get used to, and without question it won't suit everyone; it is a (bit) messy and requires careful cleaning to get the best from it, and if you're looking for espresso right up there like that from a proper machine, sure you'll be disappointed - but this is basically a 20cm long bike pump that makes coffee, so give it a break! All I can say is that it works well for me and really is quick and easy to use, allows you to select your own coffee type of choice, and so to my mind is well worth it. I now use it at least daily, if not twice a day, during the working week, and envisage my taking it on holiday too: I could imagine anyone who regularly goes camping, etc. finding it especially useful.

I can start my day with a wonderful cup of coffee. Thanks to this minipresso. I can bring it anywhere, even when I stay over at my friends’ house
